You don't honestly think processors are making 30-40% margins do you? They will be getting squeezed by their customers constantly, and running on very tight margins, which is why they need massive throughput to keep running.
yes agree , but its the whole supply chain conspiring, plenty of farmers have been selling at a loss over the decades , simply not on, considering animal welfare red tractor etc . Im well aware primary producers get hammered globally coffee / chocolate etc , but going forward APB and the rest need a wake up .

Off topic but i bought a 21day matured shorthorn sirloin steak from morrisons today. It was beautiful.
Can't beat the old breeds for eating quality 👌

Taking it back on topic, I sold a 6year old shorthorn x cow on Wednesday and got the cheque today. 640kg made £800. Can’t think much will end up as prime steak though.
